I tried to use the following rewrite rule on my site: #RewriteRule !(^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf)$ /index.php In my site I use an <iframe> for showing a JavaScript based navigation-system (I know, I know....). When using the above Rewrite rule, I get the site frontpage in the iframe instead of the navigation menu. I'm no expert on Rewrite rules in Apache, so can anyone please tell me why this happens?
best regards

Hi Bruce. Here's the beginning of my iframe:
<iframe id="navigationContainer" name="navigationContainer" src="/snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html"
hmmmm.... perhaps I need to add the /snakeMenu directory to my rewrite rule? I also have some other nonstandard directories in my eZ publish directory. I have for instance all my javascripts placed in a directory called javascript. Do I need to include those non-standard directories as well?
best regards

Ok, after reading a little in mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly), here's what I've come up with: If I've understood this correctly "|" means OR inside parenthesis, so the rewrite rule basically states that whenever the beginning of the URL is one of the expressions OR'ed in the first parenthesis, followed by any charachters and then a dot, and the end of URL is one of the expressions in the last parenthesis, the browser is redirected to /index.php If this is correct, I'm even more puzzled. Because the URL in the iframe shouldn't be redirected then since it's path is not in the first parenthesis.. or am I misunderstanding completely?

I think the first '!' mean not So everything that is do not follow the regular expression gets rewritten to index.php

Hi Tobias Why of course, didn't see that because of the line wrapping :-) So that means that the /snakeMenu directory should be included in the ignored paths, right? Thanks :-)

I think (guess) that you should add ^/snakeMenu in the first parenthes and html to the last one.

I find it easiest to add a rewrite rule before that ezpub one. So you would end up with something like:
RewriteRule /snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html [L]
RewriteRule !(^/design|^/var/.*/storage|^/var/storage|^/var/.*/cache|^/var/cache|^/extension/.*/design|^/kernel/setup/packages).*\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|ico|pdf|swf)$ /index.php
The [L] at the end of the first rule says "Don't process any more rules".

Thanks for the suggestion Bruce. But why wouldn't I want to process the last rule? Is it unnecessesary?

The first rule allows requests for the /snakeMenu/snakeMenu.html file to be returned without being passed to ez Publish (index.php). It's basically a pass through rule. This method allows you to add "pass through" rules without making changes to the standard eZ Publish rule. I should have added that [L] at the end of the first rules says "if this rule matches, don't process any more rules"

Cheers Bruce! OK, now I understand. Made a bit of difference the first few words there :-) Anyway, as I mentioned earlier I have a few other non-standard directories as well. I presume I could just OR these directories together with the snakeMenu directory in the first line to get things right. Does that sound correct to you?
Best regards
